Lost Opportunity for Manchester City

Julian Schieber scored in the second half to lift host Borussia Dortmund over Manchester City, 1-0, in the Champions League, ending City’s chances of reaching the Europa League. Dortmund was already assured of advancing to the Round of 16; City needed a victory to have a chance at the consolation prize of a Europa Cup berth. Ajax got that spot instead, despite losing, 4-1, at Real Madrid.

Tuesday’s games lacked some drama, as all available places in the next round were already decided. Joining Dortmund and Real Madrid were Paris Saint-Germain, Schalke, Arsenal, Porto, Malaga and A.C. Milan.

The rest of the last 16 will be decided after Wednesday’s games.
